The Open returns to Royal Liverpool, perhaps better known as Hoylake. The last 2 times The Open was contested here had famous results: In 2014, Rory McIlroy won, and his father won a 500-to-1 wager he had placed when Rory was 15-years-old that his son would win The Open before the age of 26. Before that, in 2006, Tiger Woods famously won hitting one driver all week.

Just letting you know I screwed up my payment from the last tournament because I picked gmail instead of yahoo. I’ll resend right away.

And I’ll take Nick Taylor for this tournament

I'm honestly surprised today's scores aren't lower overall. The course layout doesn't seem too bad after watching Rick Shiels video where he played it a week or two ago. RIP Fowler going OB twice on 18.

Narrow fairways and rough that basically means your dead is killing them I think.

Man I love Open featured groups. You always wind up with at least one older British guy who's just as happy to talk about the good ol' days than commentate the golf and doesn't give a poo poo about dunking on bad shots. It's excellent casual viewing.

story of his year. He shouldn't be on the Ryder Cup team and that woulda been an insane take at the beginning of the year

One of the guys on Peacock coverage is ridding HARD for Rory. Like, "Rory's five off the lead - he's got them right where he wants them."

Hatton came to the 18th tee T11 and proceeded to send two OB off the tee and could conceivably be on the cut line after this hole lmao

Koepka and Cantlay are together for the third day. Who'd have thought the Tour would be so petty and so brilliant as to pair them on Thurs/Fri, and have the scores line up so well as to keep them together.

Rahm is dialed in today. Rory and quite a few other guys off to good starts too, great golf being played.

Harman seems to have gotten it back. Don't see how he loses at this point tbh.

:shepface:God I fucking love Diablo 3 gold, it even paid for this shitty title:shepface:

Yeah he’s playing well. He’s just so hard to watch with that pre shot routine. I think the guys at -5 and -6 still have a chance but only if Harman lets them back in it.

I really though Rory had a good round in him today after that start but nope.
